Can't see whats in the bed...

I am used to having a reg cab truck. When I would haul something in the back I could turn around and look through the window to check on it. Now I have a double cab and can't just look back there. I do tie my items down securely but for my piece of mind I still like to check on it. Is there a camera or mirror that I can install or will I just have to get used to not being able to look back there?

I haul my dog a lot and I am constantly looking back there to check on her. Both through the rear view mirror and by turning my head to look through the back window. Although when she is back there I always leave the slider open as well. The only time I have trouble seeing her is when she is laying down.

The camera sounds complicated and interferes with the stock wiring. Sounds prone to problems too.

The mirror solution seems simple and reliable.

You can purchase after market cameras that mount on the dash and they don't interfere with wiring and a monkey could install them, in Canada we buy them at Canadian tire, and they are about 100 bucks and work great.

the only thing u have to wire into the truck is the power for the camera...its not that hard and wouldnt interfere at all w/ stock wiring. u can get a monitor and a camera for a couple hundred dollars off ebay.

Yeah, after I went to dinner with the wife, all I wanted to do was go to sleep. We before dinner; I was lucky I didn't fall asleep during dinner.

haha, its probably a good idea to get things taken care of before dinner. i absolutey refuse to "get close" for a couple hours after i've eaten. i hate doing any kind of moving on a full stomach. So i guess before dinner is good, then about 3 hours after you can go at it again
